Finally, Huawei P20 Pro users are back in business. Before proceeding keep in mind that you will lose the warranty of your phone by unlocking the bootloader and the bootloader unlock code is not free. So you have to pay for the unlock code. If you already have the code you can proceed with the root process. At this moment only EMUI9.1 can be rooted because Huawei has permanently blocked the bootloader in EMUI10. If you have already upgraded to EMUI10 then you need to roll back to EMUI9.1 using hisuite.

Disclaimer

• You try everything at your own risk
• Don’t upgrade the Magisk version otherwise, you will lose root access
• Don’t factory reset a rooted phone
• This method has been tested on CLT-L09 and should work for other models running EMUI9.1
• In case the phone gets bricked, download the same firmware version which is inside the phone and flash kernel, recovery_ramdisk, and system in fastboot mode. Then factory reset.
• If you are planning to use custom ROMs, you must downgrade to EMUI9.0
• In EMUI9.1 system partition can not be mounted as R/W, Don’t try to wipe anything with TWRP
